LAGOSSAFETY.COM , FIRST ONLINE PORTAL FOR REPORTING SAFETY ISSUES BERTHS

Some good news to Lagosians or residents of Lagos State. LagosSafety.com; an online portal where they can report safety issues in their environment online has been introduced. Launched in December 2012 but commencing operations in January 2013 the platform serves as a point of contact between the citizens and the government.Residents observe their environment, find anomalies and report them online. The government acknowledges the issue and commence work on it. Once the issue is sorted, the thread becomes “closed”.

The administrator of Lagossafety.com, Mr. Segun Adekoye explained “The idea was to bridge the gap between the government and the people. Sometimes there are issues that are hazardous to the lives of people unattended to for a while. An example is an electric wire lying on the road for days before it becomes fixed.
We have been able to fragment the issues into categories that can be directed to their respective authorities such that PHCN Lagos, knows it’s own category while the State Ministry of Works and Housing also knows where it belongs on the website. We did this out of the need to inform the government about issues it rarely hears about and move them towards solving them.


It helps to stimulate social responsibility in the state and makes all the residents stakeholders. There are several issues that barely get the attention of the State Government, this sort of issues can be resolved once it gets to the notice of the responsible authorities. The site also incorporates Google Maps so that places that are being reported can be accurately located.
The kinds of issues that can be reported are dangerous buildings, bad roads, flood, potholes, bad traffic lights, electricity, road lighting, no street names, emergencies such as fire outbreaks and accidents. Other environmental issues such as waste disposal, traffic obstructions, decaying or dead animals or people can also be reported. Security and risk issues can also be reported. These range from chaos, security alerts, illegal parking are also to be reported online.

Residents can begin by registering on the site www.lagossafety.com in order to be able to report issues that they notice in their community. Thereafter, they can report any issue that fall into these categories.
Registration is free and LagosSafety.com does not require any form of money from users of the web portal. Security is a collective effort, it is important that all hands work together to promote and report safety issues on the site. LagosSafety.com was set up to ensure to the city of Lagos is safe and habitable for all.

CLOSE FRIENDS OF KELVIN LAKOJU INSIST HE DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE

Few days ago, it was widely reported that a certain Nigerian student living in India, Kevin Lakoju committed suicide. However, his family and friends have come out to refute the story, they insist he would do no such thing.

A close friend of his living in India was quoted thus, "Kelvin was killed, we know it, the Indian police knows it, they have confirmed it"

Although investigations are still going on, it is believed that the possibility of suicide has been ruled out. Unconfirmed reports say that a new report will be sent out soon.

In the main time it has been sadness, pain and tears for friends of Kelvin.

Another longtime friend of his Kofo who also schooled in India said, "He had lots of plans mapped out, he was going to tour the world, hungary to India and his next stop was either canada or U.S. He was so full of life, ideas, plans… which is why i don't believe that suicide rubbish. I pray whoever did this will suffer for it"

Another friend who pleaded anonymous said amidst tears "how come they were quick to conclude that it was a suicide case, just days before the incident he was very bubbly and the last set of people he spoke with said there were no signs of depression"

He was a great guy, humble, friendly and calm, he'll be greatly missed by his Family and Friends.

His friends are hereby appealing to the authority and the embassy in India to take up the case, his friends and neighbors should be questioned, everybody around should be called.
